The Democratic Nominee for superin-

The Democratic Nominee for Superin-
tendent Elected-The Tax Defeated.
The school election passed off quietly
yesterday. There was no disturbance at the
polling places. But little enthusiasm was
manifested in political circles, and many
Republicans were at work IN each ward for
the head Of the Democratic ticket. In the
Fourth Ward there were three candidates
for Director, J. F. Richardson submitting
his name as an Independent candidate. In
the First Ward Erlewine was traded for
Ed Martin, and it is claimed that he was
similarly treated in other wards, the De-
mocracy being willing to sacrifice all the
balance of their ticket in order to save its
head. The hardest workers at the polls
were those in favor of the proposed tax to
do away with portion of Chinatown and
establish public market. As it takes a
two-thirds vote the tax was defeated by 27S
votes, Notwithstanding the fact that there
was a majority of 75S for progress and i'm
provement. NJ. r. Beard, the Democratic
candidate for School Superintendent, car
ried all the wards in the city. Below the
result of the election is given in tabulated
form:

The Young Mems Christian Association of
Sacramento is to be congratulated on their
new departure in organizing gymnastic de-

fined to young men, of whom large num-
Der were present. The stage was occupied
by an orchestra consisting of II. Reynolds,
violin; H. ]. Coates, violoncello; B. Hart
cornet, and J. c. Walling, piano. The
gentlemen played an opening selection and
also numerous pieces throughout the even
ing, much to the enjoyment of the audi
ence. c.. II. Dunn, one of the Board of
Directors, and much interested in athletic
sports, presided and introduced the various

zontal bar, A Arnold, H. Hillebrand, A

pany. The exercises were very fire from
beginning 10 end. The spectators evinced
their appreciation by hearty and frequent
applause, and recalls of the performers.
Prior 10 the last act Mr.. Dunn made a
few remarks as TO the work of the Associ-
alton, saying Man has q three-fold nature,
spiritual, intellectual and physical. The
!. NJ. c. A. realizes this and endeavors to
provide for the three fold side of young
men. 1t does so by means of social rel;-
gious meetings of various kinds specially
adapted to young men for the spiritual side,
| by lectures, educational classes, reading
rooms and libraries for his intellectual
needs, and by gymnasiums, bowling alleys,
and various outdoor sports for his physical
wants. The Sacramento Association is
working on these lines, and young men
| who are not members are invited to Join it
and thus enjoy these privileges. The men,
/ bership fee is five dollars per year no in
| itiation fee; and any young man of good
moral character can become member at
